Mr. W. J. Long to Retire.
Mr. W.J. Long, of Long, HI a lick a"
Haskins, on account of ill health ha.s
decided to retire from the mercan
tile business. This is a piece cf news
that the people of Oxford a?:d Gran
ville County will greatly regret to
hear of. Mr. Long has for more than
20 years been a resident of Oxford
and has built up a fine busin ss and
is one of the town's foremost citizens
For a year or two his health has not
been of the best, and his decision
was brought about incrder to give
freedom from business cares and
time to recuperate.
The business cf Long, Blalcck and
Haskins, which is one of big proper
tions, w-ill be conducted as in the
past after Mr. Long's retirement, but
in order to effect the change, the
firm is seling its stock at and below
